Kind of a "duh" post, but I have been using a gripper(if that is what they are called) every day for the past couple of weeks. I guess it is working because I shot my 44 the other day and noticed the recoil seemed to be about 1/2 of what it used to be. I'll step up to the 475 and see if it holds true. :)
I guess I need to check my sights before deer season to see how much difference it has made. I didn't seem to have a problem on the armadillos out to 100 yards though.

Just shooting a lot with a tight hold works for me.
Thats what I think the whole work your way up to max loads thing does without you knowin it.

Maybe so, but being stronger from the exerciser means more grip with less strain and I guess less trembling. :)

That's actually a good idea. You will fatigue at a much slower rate.

A good milk cow will accomplish the same thing.

Howdy !
Try that grip execisre using three fingers on it, and NOT exercising your trigger finger.
Also, if your DA revolver has a flat rib atop the barrel, you might want to try refining you DA trigger pulls skills, by putting a short stack of dimes atop the rib; and try to keep them in-place through multiple trigger pulls.

You can get much the same result squeezing a rubber ball.

He said he wanted to improve his grip strength, not crush cue balls in his hand :razz:
